What is the alphabetical order of license plates in Gansu?
2 Answers
Gansu license plate alphabetical order ranges from Gan A to Gan P, specifically: Gan A is Lanzhou City, Gan B is Jiayuguan City, Gan C is Jinchang, Gan D is Baiyin City, Gan E is Tianshui City, Gan F is Jiuquan City, Gan G is Zhangye City, Gan H is Wuwei City, Gan J is Dingxi City, Gan K is Longnan City, Gan L is Pingliang City, Gan M is Qingyang City, Gan N is Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gan P is Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The vehicle registration authority code consists of 2 characters, composed of a Chinese character and an English letter. The Chinese character is the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government, and the English letter is the code of the vehicle management office.
When I first got my driver's license, I paid special attention to license plate information. I'm quite familiar with the sequence of license plates in Gansu: Gan A represents Lanzhou as the provincial capital, with the widest distribution of license plates; Gan B is Jiayuguan, an industrial city; Gan C is Jinchang, famous for its mineral resources; Gan D is Baiyin, with strong agriculture; Gan E is Tianshui, rich in history; Gan F is Jiuquan, located on the border; Gan G is Zhangye, a popular tourist destination; Gan H is Wuwei; Gan J is Dingxi; Gan K is Longnan; Gan L is Pingliang; Gan M is Qingyang; Gan N is Linxia; Gan P is Gannan Autonomous Prefecture. These letters are arranged basically according to administrative divisions, avoiding I and O because they can be easily confused with the numbers 1 and 0. When driving on the road, I often use this to guess the driver's hometown. For example, when I see a Gan G plate, I think of the scenic spots in Zhangye and prepare for the road conditions in advance. When I inspect my car, I always check how firmly the license plate is attached to prevent it from falling off at high speeds—this is something I can't afford to be careless about.
